This will have a major economic cost, but is there any realistic estimate of how this will effect the Russian supplies and for how long? I enjoy Russian holidaymakers having a bad time, but that's more petty than productive.

Whatever they hit the bridge with, they can almost certainly do it again, so I'd say the bridge is goneburgers.

The Ukrainians can certainly hit most of the territory between them and the Azov sea with HIMARS, and most of it with barrel artillery, so getting supplies into Crimea is about to become very difficult.

@Ilovethebomb @cis2butene I dunno, the Muscovites have had some success holding off sea drones elsewhere with netting and booms and the like, and the bridge is a far stretch for even Ukraine's longest range missiles.

This is why we should gift them the Type 23s and the HMS Triumph.
